Torture, at Ieast that.

The War Department promised me
one hundred eighty men...
:10:10
and they sent me eighteen aII toId.
:10:12
You are the eighteen.
:10:15
So, each one of you wiII have to do
the work of ten men.
:10:18
If you faiI, I"II have you spread-eagIed
on a wagon wheeI.
:10:24
If you desert, you"II be found,
tracked down and broken into bits.
:10:30
That is aII.
:10:31
Forward!
Ho!
:10:39
Trooper York, sir!
:10:55
I haven"t seen you for 15 years.
:10:57
So I"ve been toId, sir.
I have no cIear memory.
:11:00

when you faiIed at West Point.
:11:03
Yes, sir.
:11:05
-Were did you enIist?
-At HoIIands FaII, sir. Next day.
:11:09
Lied about your age.
:11:11

-Jefferson barracks, sir.
:11:16
On the officiaI record
you"re my son...
:11:19
but on this post
you"re just another trooper.
:11:23
You heard me teII the recruits
what I need from them.
:11:26
Twice that
I"II expect from you.
:11:28
At ChepouIapeck,
my father, your grandfather...
:11:34

That was his duty.
:11:38
I"II do mine.
:11:40
You"ve chosen my way of Iife.
:11:43
I hope you have the guts
to endure it.
:11:47
But put out of your mind...
:11:49
any romantic ideas that
it"s a way of gIory.
:11:52
It"s a Iife of suffering and hardship.
:11:55
And uncompromising devotion
to your oath and your duty.
:11:59
Have I the CoroneI permission to speak?
